hilarity.

So me and JoJo used up our exercise allowance for this month.
We went orienteering. Yup.

My parents came too, which was pretty hilarious, but the fact that my dad actually took it seriously was funnier.

"Come ON guys, we are in it to win it"
"RUN, fatties, RUN"
"Oh we lost time on that one, better sprint to make up the time."

Dad, you are hilarious. And quotes from you are truly priceless.
Pretty sure though, after a 40 minute 57 second constant run up and down hills I could've fallen asleep...

I didn't though, and then to celebrate our active-ness we had fish and chips from Carraways (which by the way are the BEST things EVERRRR). Good job guys, we just put all that weight we lost STRAIGHT back on. Hahahaha.

Creative Generation tomorrow.
Oh joys.


It will be interesting to find out who else from the Con quit to do it this year though...

illness.

I have decided that I don't like it very much.

So, yesterday at school, I was doing just fine. Then about halfway through art I kinda just DIED. :(
I went to sick bay, but I just ended up crying, so I called my mummy and she came and picked me up.

We were walking out from the school when suddenly I vomited. Twice. In the bushes outside the school doors. So when Mr Jose gets back from Melbourne on Monday I am pretty sure there will be film footage of me vomiting outside his school waiting for him. Oh yummy.

I haven't vomited in AGES.

I went to bed when I got home and slept. That was at about 1.00pm and I have just woken up.

It is now 9.13am.

SO GOOD. :)

linoprint.

I have the cuts and bruises to prove that I have done it right. :)

Seriously though, rusty carving tools create major ouchies :(

Do you ever get the feeling that you are out of the loop? I get it all the time. Having deep conversations with friends and one say to another 'I'll tell you later' and you get left out?

Yeah I hate it.
If you are going to tell only one friend, fine, but don't say so when the other friend is around. It makes them feel like crap. Come on guys.

is it in your blood?

Someone is on my mind.

We sit, and we breath. cause I know all the words and I sing you everything.

Some of my best memories are with this person.
You don't know who you are, because I am too scared to tell you.

And I count you among my best friends. The truth is, I am scared of losing you.

Please don't leave me.

I hope that one day I can tell you who you are.

Song lyrics from 'It's In Your Blood' by Lydia

i love love

In Latin the word amica means girlfriend. The noun is amor (to love). It is interesting that the word for friend amicus and the word for friendship amicitia come from the same root. Amāre is sometimes used for love and like.

This was made so clear to me today, the line between friendship and love is so blurred. And, to be honest, I do love my friends. Like, properly love them.

I have been shown so much love today. Love between friends, love between families, and even stranger love.
It makes me happy.

I was having a kinda rough day, and a few people were bitching about me, and making me feel unworthy, but the people that really mattered to me, they showed me what it really means to be called a friend.

LOVE.

It comes in many different forms, and I am so lucky to go to a school where love is around me everyday. When people first come to my art academy, they are a little freaked out by us. We are very 'hands on' and show a LOT of affection for each other. But as soon as you have been there even a small amount of time, you feel that you have to hold back all this affection for your other friends who don't understand how to share it yet.

I wouldn't trade it for the world.
And I would just like to say thank you for being there.

roses contain wisdom

It's a good book.
Life would be so simple as a monk, I think I would like it, apart from the whole religion thing. I should be a non-religious monk methinks.

I feel sad. I don't know why. You know when you are just in one of those moods where you feel like you need to cry for hours? Yeah, I'm there, and I have absolutely no idea why.

Today was good though. Coffee with JoJo in our spare, and a spare last thing. I went to bed at 3.30pm. SO GOOD.
